So I have a complete cross section of my model.  
If I click ‘Visualization’ it ignores the cross section of the model and reverts to the full model.  
I’m using the windows version.

Is there a way to maintain the cross section in ‘Visualization’?

Hi,

At the moment no, Section view isn’t supported inside Visualization.

As a workaround, you could split the body with the plane you would use for section view, and hide the part you don’t want to show.

Thanks, I’ll definitely use that workaround!
